Tampa Bay fire sticks

the word "tampa" is an Indian word used to describe the area to eurpoeans when they first arrived.

They think the word tampa means "sticks of fire"


its pretty lame tho. they said sticks of fire probably is a reference to the many lightening stricks Tampa gets every year. but they already have a hockey team named the lightening

The Tampa Bay Turd Burglars?
If trees could scream do you think we would be so cavalier to cut them down? Maybe if they screamed all the time for no good reason.

Probably the worst thing about having King Kong run rampant in your town would be the huge, monster genitalia.

I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then I could keep Dracula and Superman away.

Just fold the organization. Who cares for the team?
Love many, trust few and don\'t be late.
